Ok, here is what I have done so far...
ran windows updates (1 optional update to wifi nic)
made sure all .net features were enabled in windows features
un-installed riderunner and purged both the registry & disk of any thing related to RR
rebooted
turned off antivirus/antispam
ran riderunner install from 9/13 download
let installer do all the work and all default choices
let it run rrconfig
set GPS
set xm port
turned on debug / fresh /xm debug

Ran riderrunner...got same error from msjgadjets
clicked screen, returned to main menu and exited riderunner

I have attached the debug text & the rr.ini files to see if you can provide any insight.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

quick question, when u installed RideRunner....

windows 7, is UAC on or off?

if ON...
1. did the INSTALLER ask to elevate?
2. when you run riderunner, does it ask to elevate?

While I would be curious to know what caused the issue, I replaced the drive and did a clean build of Win 7 & RR. After several hours of reconfiguring my box (bluetooth internet over my blackberry,traffic cams, weather, rrgas and much frustration with the mp3-XM usb adapter & touchscreen drivers) it now works as it is should.

The only outstanding issue is that the xm radio doesnt start up where it left off when I shut the pc down. I have to go to my xm skin to get it to turn back on. Of course that's the entire reason I wanted to upgrade to the latest RR. I do seem to remember seeing a thread about that however...

So as far as this issue, no need to do anythign further

Thanks

for sure u are prob using OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD drivers with that mp3car.com xm interface...

also.. it has to be wired correctly, the xm must have power when the pc is powered, so.. without knowing exectly what u got wired... but that thats a typical mistake

if ur are NOT running x64 version of win7 you can use this driver set

Thanks for the drivers, the ones I was using were 2.0 dated 2006 nd these went in with out a hitch. As for the wiring, I am running the xm-usb from the PC power supply so I know I am good there.

Even if I stop rr from windows and restart it still shows rrpl.m3u8 in the now playing section until I go to the xm screen and then it jumps back to the last xm station I was playing and starts working fine....

I dont want to bother you with this. Ill go through the forum and see if I can find something, thanks for your help though...

The upgrade to the new RR & Win 7 has given me a functional sleep mode and a resume of about 9 seconds from key turn to music...that and the on demand tablet keyboard built into windows 7 and I am a happy customer. Ill figure the rest out when I get the chances to look at it all.
